Grand Game 386: Another Choice

Note from Tom: this was a painful chapter (to write, but hopefully not to read :P). It took me a long while to settle in my mind how the ascendant Classes should work, and hopefully I've managed to communicate that clearly. I've introduced a s...

Empyrean 18: Broodmother

Amelia, here!
Hi everyone. So we have made some pretty big changes to the overall story of Empyrean. I have updated previous chapters - the biggest changes are in chapter 16 and 17, if you want to go back and have a look so this one will m...

Grand Game 385: A Matter of Class

“It could work,” Adriel muttered, her head bowed while she considered my plan.

“It should be well within the limits of the boon,” I agreed. After all, bringing Ceruvax here was not very different from teleporting me...

Grand Game 384: Doing the Unexpected

“Draven’s suggestion is a good one,” Adriel said. “And perhaps the best course.”

Glancing up, I saw the spirit floating beside me. I’d left her and the guardian only a few minutes ago to ruminate over the choice...

Grand Game 383: Toying With One’s Reward

I scrambled to my feet. “What does that mean?” I was not about to become anyone’s pawn, not even a guardian’s, and while I had no compunctions about restoring any of the other guardians, doing so would not take precedence over my own plans...

Grand Game 382: A Guardian’s Favor

“So, even after all these years, justice has not been served,” Draven lamented once we were done.

“It has not,” I agreed. Draven had listened patiently to our tales. Although Adriel’s story had troubled him, it was my own descripti...

Grand Game 381: Draven

“Damn,” I muttered, eyes widening in shock. I’d not expected a class evolution, and certainly not so quickly after obtaining the power Mark.
